Six people are performing actions in front of the camera, which they chose regarding their own sexuality - what might be helpful in their current life situation? What is empowering, what calls them, what is enrichening? Looking at vulvas, printing them, an oil ritual, a clearing talk with parents about the lack of sexual education, addressing foot fetish, making love while pregnant, exchanging about penisses, getting tied up, showing themselves to the world and deconstructing shame... A film project about sexual empowerment.
